In Season 2, scholars continue the story of Joseph Smith by using the documents that survive to illustrate his life, many of them the very texts that compose the published volumes of The Joseph Smith Papers. Whether on location or through in-depth interviews, early Church history comes alive in this landmark documentary series. This documentary series is produced by KJZZ Television and the Larry H. Miller Communications Corp., in cooperation with the Church History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and The Joseph Smith Papers Project. Focusing on the documentary record primarily found in the LDS Church History Library, more than fifty esteemed scholars of early Mormon history appear on the program in interviews and in lectures.
